I have a thousand miles on my MSLR. Saturday, it suddenly told my wife to pull over and then immediately shut down. Roadside assistance sent a tow truck and said it sounds like a rear drive unit. Bummer, huh? Anyone else had this issue? How long does it take them to fix it on average? Any ideas?

I got a trade-in offer and then ordered a new one. I remember it took months to get. No issue when the new one arrived.
To get the valuation or how long it's valid for?
For me, the valuation comes back in about 3 days, valid for 30 days.
Since I've been doing this for 10mo, typically they only ask for a pic of the odometer, but every 4mo or so they want new pics of the whole car.
Assuming it’s a failed motor inverter, ours took about a week IIRC.
Front motor, 22 MS LR, about 1,200 miles.
Elon Musk wants fully self-driving Teslas ready to go on sale by the end of this year. Didn't he say something like that a few years ago?

I have had 3 cars evaluated and it was 2-3 days each.
TBH it's been a bit of a roller-coaster ride the past few days:No VIN yet.
Aug 25: Nothing - no car and no change to EDD
Aug 26: EDD changed to 2022-SEP-07 and 2022-OCT-12
Aug 28: Text message: VIN assigned; EDD 2022-AUG-29 and 2022-SEP-10
Aug 29: Delivery date and time scheduled (2022-SEP-01, 1400 PDT)
Yesterday my wife and I spent the day installing the wall charger and cleaning out the garage with the expectation of the car arriving soon. Then Tesla called me today and scheduled the pickup.
I'll post some pics from the pickup.
Does anyone know if they are still shipping all model S's with the front license plate attached or did they stop that?
As of 3 weeks ago it’s still on there with 3M tape. I had mine taken off.

Pull Over Safely MSLR built Feb 2022
Below is list of alerts from a "Pull Over Safely Vehicle Shutting Down" incident. Luckily I was able to pull over before it shuddered (maybe brakes) and quit. Not shut down as both screens and ac still on. But no control and drive selection did not work. I called Tesla road assistance. After...

VIN assigned today! Its finally happening! Cbus OH delivery. Order date 2/6.....Vin assigned 8/29 with an updated EDD of 9/1 -9/7.I feel like the EDD is kinda soon considering my VIN has just assigned today. Hoping it was not a rejected car......
Yes, we've driven it another 1k miles or so and the front inverter hasn't blown up and the car still drives . . . .
Oddly, Tesla Service Fort Worth didn't seem to think this massive, car dead on side of road, fiasco of a failure even warranted a "we're sorry your car left your stranded" apology, but that's the new Tesla Customer Service: The Customer is The Problem.
Car was returned filthy after a week sitting in sun and dirt, and with the tow truck driver's or mechanic's oil stains on the white seats--thanks Tesla!
So very different from the early days (2013-14) when Tesla gave a damn, but such is life with Tesla repairs these days.

This is one of my bigger fears these days as an owner now. Seems like these failures are somewhat rare but there also seems to be no rhyme or reason when or how they fail. If Tesla could be more consistent(quicker) with repairs and service it would be less scary, but I have seen some waiting a month for repairs. Fingers crossed we never encounter it.

Been a minute since I checked out the inventory page. This is new to see. 10 LR in or headed to inventory? How is this even possible when there are people still waiting nearly a year for delivery of a car? Perhaps more people are cancelling or rejecting VINs at delivery? Economy/rates starting to weigh on folks?
I spoke with my SA this morning. He confirmed that my car is still in transit to Columbus. Delivery is scheduled for Tuesday, September 6th. It’s going to be a long 7 days…
I bet you get called before that saying its ready
